substantial industry for that community in moore business forms the company has several plants in canada and the united states and is well estab lished in these days when every town is angling for new industry the competition is keen and it is therefore a notable achievement when success is achieved in any town it might be well to point out that for every industrial institution established there are many nibbles and many interviews before success is achieved there are many rumors that to the man on the street may look like the real thing but often turn out to be false alarms many times too the breaking of the news is untimely until all the details are finished it is here that often the local paper that cares the most about the welfare of its town has a difficult decision to make is it best to give the news or cooperate with the prospect in withholding the item until everything is final ised every real newspaperman wants to be first with the news- especially that which pertains to his district yet in the average town and weekly paper there is a loyalty to the town which most often overrides the natural newspaper impulse- the fergus klewsrecord had that experience in the latest industry secured we have been in the same spot on several occasions its more than probable well be on the spot again readeis should bear in mind that your home paper has a confidence and a loyalty to the town that is often more important than being first with the news we live and work intimately with our fellow citizens and first consideration must neces sarily be to the welfare of the town and district if we may seem slow in confirming rumors please feel it not our desire to withhold but rather that we want to be sure before printing a story nearer than we think the other day we had visitors who were re presentatives of the suburban gas company which will be supplying acton milton and georgetown with natural gas in this weeks is sue a notice is published of a hearing tobe held in milton regarding laying of gas lines in trafal gar and esquesing townships the availability bf natural gas here is- much nearer than the man on the street realizes all the hearings before the fuel board all the preliminaries are getting near an end and we can in industry and for domestic service have another option on the kind of heat we will use the com pany in the meantime is carrying on a series of advertisements to acquaint the publicwith the advantages of natural gas it will no doubt have a bearing en location of industry in the three towns the questions and answers columns each week are revealing some interesting facts when the representatives wee here we had some questions we asked which were most help ful we were told that gas hearing will be slight ly more favorable than oil in costs and that in stallation of gasiheating is much cheaper than oil and hat all service is taken care of by the com pany these were but a sample and the answers made possible in this public relations department cf the company will grow in interest to home owners and industrialists the coming of natural gas to these three towns gives them the one ser vice that the cities had and was not available here incidentally the man picked as the district representative of the company is a native of quesirvg township mr jim robertson a son of the late john f robertson who was a prominent sheep breeder and resided on the second line just south of atton until his untimely death when he was killed by a bolt of lightning when taking shel under a tree oh his farm easter there it a apirit of easier just as there is a spirit of thavvkaglvlng and christmas it la a spirit of exhilaration of glorious rejoicings on easter sunday be crowded glorious music will proclaim the lord cod omnipotent reigh- eth christ haat broke trie bonds of death hal lelujah r what makes this outburst of oy and confid ence is the faith that christ lives and moves along the streets and highways of personal and organiz ed i life giving assurance of happiness security and the ultimate conquest of mans baser self we live in an exciting period of the worlds history old things are being swept away much is being made new the forces of evil and good are joined in battle not that all the good is one side of the iron curtain and allthe evil on the other the conflict in which we are engaged is a clash of deep spiritual forces that cut across all boundaries and barriers the maddening roar of the worlds turmoil is the accompaniment of this deep ceaseless and age old struggle it is brought to focus in the surging nationalism so characteristic of our day the uprising of submerg ed peoples the restless movement of the worlds depressed hungry and untutored millions the easter experience reestablishes hope that the end of history is good and not evil that self ishness greed and lust for power will ultimately be sublimated into brotherhood unselfishness and humble and enthusiastic service to each other irrespective of race color or cultural background it might be welt when we go to chorch on easter sunday to watch for this note of triumph running through the music and with the eye of faith see the future of mankind as one family as christ proclaimed and demonstrated in his own experience our preferences based on an experience of the past five or six weeks we feel we could give some advice to the planners of the modem home at any rate we are just as capable of writing on the subject as some of the old maids and bachelors are in hand ing out information on how to raise a family instead of more soap powders automatic dish washers and such gadgets we think the average home has too much crockery cups are necessary as well as one plate a meal but saucers should have gone out with mustache cups nosody saucers their tea any more actually the average table is more cluttered with dishes than it is with food after the few weeks we were iri the kit chen we have done our share in eliminating
